The grant aims to integrate and strengthen Michigan's home visiting system, creating an evidence-based, data-driven approach to improve the well-being of families and children in high-risk communities. Key products and services funded include:

• Implementing evidence-based home visiting programs, such as Early Head Start, Parents as Teachers, Healthy Families America, and Nurse-Family Partnership, to serve 1,580 families across 8 counties.
• Building a family-centered, equitable home visiting system guided by parent partnership and voice, including collecting workforce data and providing mental health training.
• Strengthening support for families through state and local home visiting leadership groups, and aligning activities across early childhood and home visiting partnerships.

The grant period runs from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2026. Multiple sub-awards were made to entities such as local governments, non-profits, and school districts to help deliver these home visiting services and support systems.
